財長蓋特納第四輪美中戰略經濟對話開幕致辭

Remarks by Secretary Geithner At the Opening Ceremony of the 2012 Strategic and Economic Dialogue(S&ED)May 3, 2012 Beijing, China

美國財長蓋特納在第四輪美中戰略與經濟對話開幕式上的致辭 2012年5月3日 中國北京

I would like to express our appreciation to President Hu, Vice Premier Wang, Councilor Dai, and their colleagues for welcoming us to Beijing.我要對胡主席、王副總理、戴國務委員及其同事們歡迎我們來到北京表示我們的感謝。

I would particularly like to thank Vice Premier Wang.The Vice Premier combines a broad strategic perspective with a well-deserved reputation as a highly effective problem solver--a rare combination.He is a fierce defender of China’s interests and dedicated to building a positive, cooperative, and comprehensive bilateral economic relationship with the United States.我特別要感謝王副總理。王副總理既有廣闊的戰略視野，又當之無愧地贏得了解決問題能手的美譽——這兩種特質集于一身實屬少見。他堅定不移地捍衛中國的利益，不遺余力地推動與美國的積極、合作和全面的雙邊經濟關系。

We convened the first Strategic & Economic Dialogue three years ago in the depth of the most serious threat to the global economy and financial system in decades.We worked together to put out the fires of the global financial crisis, and today the world is better for it.We have worked to address the inevitable problems in our economic relationship in a constructive manner and with mutual respect.And both of our nations are better for it.三年前，我們在全球經濟和金融體系面臨幾十年來最嚴重威脅的時刻召開了第一次戰略與經濟對話。我們共同努力撲滅了全球金融危機的大火，如今，世界因此而變得更好。我們共同努力，以建設性的方式、本著相互尊重的精神、解決兩國經濟關系中各種不可避免的問題。我們兩國因此而變得更好。

The diversity of the economic issues we address in this Dialogue reflects the breadth and importance of our relationship.We don’t always agree, but we share strong common interests, and we recognize that promoting these common interests requires cooperation and commitment from both sides.我們在這一對話中所要解決的經濟問題的多樣性反映了兩國關系的廣度和重要性。我們并不總是意見一致，但我們有重大的共同利益，我們認識到，促進這些共同利益需要雙方的合作與承諾。

As two of the world’s largest trading nations, we both depend on an open global trading system in which workers and companies compete on a level playing field.We have a common interest in promoting productivity growth through research and innovation, by protecting intellectual property and open markets.We have a mutual interest in building a global financial system that is more stable and less prone to crisis.作為世界上兩個最大的貿易國家，我們兩國都依賴于工人與企業能夠開展公平競爭的開放的全球貿易體系。我們在通過科研和創新、保護知識產權和開放市場來促進生產力增長方面有著共同的利益。我們在建立一個更加穩定、不易遭遇危機的全球金融體系方面有著共同的利益。

Because of the size and importance of our two economies, we also have a shared responsibility for the global economy.As we have worked to promote economic reforms in the United States and China, we have worked together to strengthen and reform the IMF and the World Bank and to mobilize more resources to support development in the world’s poorest countries.We have worked together to support Europe’s efforts to better manage its financial crisis.We have worked to build new mechanisms for cooperation on international economic and financial issues in the G-20 and the Financial Stability Board.由于我們兩大經濟體的規模和重要性，我們還對全球經濟承擔著共同的責任。我們在努力促進美中兩國的經濟改革之時，又共同努力加強國際貨幣基金組織（IMF）和世界銀行（World Bank）并推動其改革，調動更多的資源支持世界最貧窮國家的發展。我們還進行合作，支持歐洲更好管理其金融危機的努力。我們協力在20國集團（G-20）和金融穩定委員會內建立國際經濟與金融問題上新的合作機制。

We meet at a time of risk and challenge in the global economy, and we both face considerable economic challenges at home.我們在全球經濟面臨風險與挑戰的時刻舉行會議，我們兩國都面臨著嚴峻的國內經濟挑戰。

In the United States, we are making progress in repairing the damage from the financial crisis and putting in place a stronger foundation for future economic growth.We are putting in place a comprehensive program of economic reforms to improve education, increase investments in scientific research and innovation, improve incentives for private investment, and reform the financial system.And we are working to legislate a comprehensive program of reforms to restore fiscal sustainability, building on tough, 10-year spending cuts we put in place last summer.While there is still a long way to go to recover from the financial crisis, the economic expansion in the United States is now more broad based and resilient, and we are significantly more advanced than are the other major developed economies in addressing the imbalances that helped cause our crisis.在美國，我們在修復金融危機造成的破壞和建立未來經濟發展更堅實的基礎方面正在取得進展。我們制定了全面的經濟改革計劃，以改進教育、增加科研創新投資、改善鼓勵私人投資的措施和改革金融體系。我們在努力通過立法制定改革計劃，以恢復財政穩定，在我們去年夏天制定的大刀闊斧削減支出的10年計劃的基礎上再接再厲。盡管要從金融危機中復蘇還有很長的一段路要走，但美國的經濟擴張現已有了更廣闊的基礎，并具有了更強的適應能力。在解決導致危機原因之一的不平衡的問題方面，我們遠遠走在其他主要發達經濟體的前面。

In China, you are in the process of exploring the next frontier of economic reforms, recognizing as your predecessors did more than 30 years ago, that future economic growth will require another fundamental shift in economic policy.These new reforms recognize the new reality that China must rely more on domestic consumption rather than exports, and more on innovation by private companies rather than capacity expansion by state owned enterprises, with an economy more open to competition from foreign firms, and with a more modern financial system.在中國，你們正處于探索下一個經濟改革前沿的過程之中，如同你們的前任在30多年前得出的認知一樣，你們認識到未來的經濟增長將需要在經濟政策方面做出另一項根本性的轉變。這些新的改革是基于新的現實：中國必須更依賴國內消費，而不是依賴出口；更多地依賴民營企業的創新，而不是依賴國有企業擴大產能；要有一個對來自外國企業的競爭更加開放、金融體系更現代化的經濟。

The United States has a strong interest in the success of these reforms, as does the rest of the world.這些改革能否取得成功關系到世界的利益，也關系到美國的重大利益。

As we begin this next round of our Strategic and Economic Dialogue, I want to reaffirm our commitment to continue to work closely with China to build a stronger economic relationship and to build a stronger framework for cooperation on global economic issues that can balance the interests of the two largest economies in the world.當我們開始這個下一輪戰略與經濟對話的時候，我想重申我們繼續與中國緊密合作的承諾，以便建立更強有力的經濟關系，并建立一個可以平衡世界兩大經濟體利益、在全球經濟問題上實行合作的更強大的框架。

China and the United States are both now sources of strength for the global economy, and we are moving toward the more balanced, and complementary growth strategies that are so important for the world.中美兩國現在都是全球經濟力量的源泉，我們正在朝著更加平衡和互補增長的戰略目標前進，這些戰略對全世界至關重要。

I hope we are able to make progress during these next two days on the range of issues before us.我希望我們能在今、明兩天在我們面臨的一系列問題上取得進展。

As President Obama made clear at our first meeting in Washington three years ago, we are nations with different political values and traditions, different political and economic systems, and as we recognize those differences, it is important that we are able to talk to each other openly and make progress on issues that benefit both the Chinese and American people.如奧巴馬總統三年前在我們于華盛頓召開的第一次會議上所明確指出，我們是具有不同政治價值觀與傳統、不同政治和經濟制度的國家。我們認識到這些區別，我們必須能夠在彼此之間公開進行對話并在造福中美兩國人民的問題上取得進展。

We will approach these issues with appreciation for the challenges you face in China and with confidence that China is strong enough to embrace the reforms we seek.我們將探討這些問題。對于你們在中國所面臨的各項挑戰，我們表示理解；對中國有足夠力量去從事這些我們尋求的改革，我們抱有信心。

奧巴馬美中戰略與經濟對話致辭

Thank you.Good morning.It is a great honor to welcome you to the first meeting of the Strategic Economic Dialogue between the United States and China.This is an essential step in advancing a positive, constructive, and comprehensive relationship between our countries.I'm pleased that President Hu shares my commitment to a sustained dialogue to enhance our shared interests.謝謝各位。早上好。能夠在此歡迎你們前來參加美中戰略與經濟對話首次會議，我深感榮幸。這是推動兩國積極、建設性、全面關系的極其重要的步驟。胡錦濤主席同我一樣致力于為增進兩國的共同利益而開展持續對話，我對此感到高興 President Hu and I both felt that it was important to get our relationship off to a good start.Of course, as a new President and also as a basketball fan, I have learned from the words of Yao Ming, who said, “No matter whether you are new or an old team member, you need time to adjust to one another.” Well, through the constructive meetings that we've already had, and through this dialogue, I'm confident that we will meet Yao's standard.胡主席和我都認為兩國關系有一個良好的開端很重要。當然，作為一位新任總統和籃球迷，我從姚明說過的話中受到啟示，他說：“無論你是新隊員還是老隊員，你都需要時間相互適應。”通過我們已經舉行的建設性會晤和這項對話，我深信我們能夠達到姚明提出的標準。

I want to acknowledge the remarkable American and Chinese leaders who will co-chair this effort.Hillary Clinton and Tim Geithner are two of my closest advisors, and they have both obtained extraordinary experience working with China.And I know that they will have extremely capable and committed Chinese counterparts in State Councilor Dai and Vice Premier Wang.Thank you very much for being here.我來介紹一下將共同主持這一對話的美中兩國卓越的領導人。希拉里克林頓（Hillary Clinton）和蒂姆蓋特納（Tim Geithner）是與我接觸最密切的顧問中的兩位，他們在與中國合作方面都有非凡的經驗。我知道他們的對話伙伴王岐山副總理和戴秉國國務委員也是能力超凡并堅定地致力于對話。

I'm also looking forward to the confirmation of an outstanding U.S.Ambassador to China, Governor Jon Huntsman, who is here today.Jon has deep experience living and working in Asia, and--unlike me--he speaks fluent Mandarin Chinese.He also happens to be a Republican who co-chaired Senator McCain's campaign.And I think that demonstrates Jon's commitment to serving his country, and the broad, bipartisan support for positive and productive relations between the United States and China.So thank you, Jon, for your willingness to serve.我還期待喬恩亨茨曼（Jon Huntsman，中文名洪博培）州長通過確認，成為一位出色的美國駐華大使。他今天也在座。喬恩在亞洲有豐富的生活和工作經歷，并且，同我不一樣的是，他能說一口流利的中國普通話。他還是一位共和黨人，曾任麥凱恩（McCain）參議員總統競選團隊的共同主席。我認為，這反映了喬恩為國效勞的堅定承諾以及兩黨對發展積極和富有成果的美中關系的廣泛、一致的支持。謝謝您，喬恩，謝謝您同意擔任這項職務。

Today, we meet in a building that speaks to the history of the last century.It houses a national memorial to President Woodrow Wilson, a man who held office when the 20th century was still young, and America's leadership in the world was emerging.It is named for Ronald Reagan, a man who came of age during two World Wars, and whose presidency helped usher in a new era of history.And it holds a piece of the Berlin Wall, a decades-long symbol of division that was finally torn down, unleashing a rising tide of globalization that continues to shape our world.今天，我們在一個見證了上個世紀歷史的大樓里開會。這里有伍德羅威爾遜（Woodrow Wilson）總統的國家紀念館。他任職于20世紀初期，當時，美國在世界上剛剛嶄露頭角。這座大樓以羅納德里根（Ronald Reagan）的名字命名。里根在兩次世界大戰期間成年，在他擔任總統時期，美國政府幫助迎來了一個新的歷史時代。這座大樓里還陳列著象征幾十年對立的柏林墻（Berlin Wall）的一塊磚石，這堵墻的最終拆除引發了全球化的潮流，這一潮流至今仍在繼續塑造我們的世界。

One hundred years ago--in the early days of the 20th century--it was clear that there were momentous choices to be made--choices about the borders of nations and the rights of human beings.But in Woodrow Wilson's day, no one could have foreseen the arc of history that led to a wall coming down in Berlin, nor could they have imagined the conflict and upheaval that characterized the years in between.For people everywhere--from Boston to Beijing--the 20th century was a time of great progress, but that progress also came with a great price.100年前，在20世紀初期，顯然有兩種極其重要的選擇等待人們去作出——關于國界和人權的選擇。但是，在伍德羅?威爾遜時代，誰也無法預見導致柏林那堵墻倒塌的歷史進程，也無法想象這段歷史所特有的沖突與動蕩。對從波士頓到北京的世界各地的人們來說，20世紀是取得巨大進步的時代，但為了取得這些進步，也付出了巨大的代價。

Today, we look out on the horizon of a new century.And as we launch this dialogue, it's important for us to reflect upon the questions that will shape the 21st century.Will growth be stalled by events like our current financial crisis, or will we cooperate to create balanced and sustainable growth, lifting more people out of poverty and creating a broader prosperity around the world? Will the need for energy breed competition and climate change, or will we build partnerships to produce clean power and to protect our planet? Will nuclear weapons spread unchecked, or will we forge a new consensus to use this power for only peaceful purposes? Will extremists be able to stir conflict and division, or will we unite on behalf of our shared security? Will nations and peoples define themselves solely by their differences, or can we find common ground necessary to meet our common challenges, and to respect the dignity of every human being? 今天，我們眺望新世紀的地平線。在我們啟動這項對話的時候，我們有必要思索將影響21世紀的那些問題。是讓當前的金融危機及其他事件導致經濟增長停步，還是我們通過合作創造平衡而可持續的增長，幫助更多人擺脫貧困，為世界帶來更大范圍的繁榮？是讓對能源的需求導致競爭和氣候變化，還是我們通過建立伙伴關系生產清潔能源和保護我們的地球？是讓核武器無止境擴散，還是我們達成新的共識，把核能僅僅用于和平目的？是讓恐怖分子煽動沖突和分裂的圖謀得逞，還是我們團結一致共保安全？國家和民族是拘泥于差異思維，還是我們能夠找到應對共同挑戰所必需的共同點，并給予每一個人應有的尊嚴？

We can't predict with certainty what the future will bring, but we can be certain about the issues that will define our times.And we also know this: The relationship between the United States and China will shape the 21st century, which makes it as important as any bilateral relationship in the world.That really must underpin our partnership.That is the responsibility that together we bear.我們無法確定無疑地預期未來，但我們確知將會影響我們時代的問題。我們還知道：美中關系將影響二十一世紀，因此，其重要性不亞于世界上任何一種雙邊關系。我們的伙伴關系必須基于這一現實。這是我們共同承擔的責任。

As we look to the future, we can learn from our past--for history shows us that both our nations benefit from engagement that is grounded in mutual interest and mutual respect.During my time in office, we will mark the 40th anniversary of President Nixon's trip to China.At that time, the world was much different than it is today.America had fought three wars in East Asia in just 30 years, and the Cold War was in a stalemate.China's economy was cut off from the world, and a huge percentage of the Chinese people lived in extreme poverty.在我們展望未來之時，我們可以借鑒過去——因為歷史向我們表明，我們兩國都受益于建立在共同利益和相互尊重基礎之上的接觸。在我任職期間，我們將迎來尼克松總統訪問中國四十周年紀念日。當時，我們所處的是一個與現在大不相同的世界。在短短30年里，美國在東亞就打了三場戰爭，而冷戰則陷于僵局。中國經濟與世隔絕，中國人口的很大一部分生活在赤貧之中。

Back then, our dialogue was guided by a narrow focus on our shared rivalry with the Soviet Union.Today, we have a comprehensive relationship that reflects the deepening ties among our people.Our countries have now shared relations for longer than we were estranged.Our people interact in so many ways.And I believe that we are poised to make steady progress on some of the most important issues of our times.當時我們的對話建立在一個狹隘的基礎上，即我們各自與蘇聯展開的競爭。今天，我們享有反映兩國人民之間日益深化的紐帶的全面關系。迄今為止，我們兩國的交往時間已經超過相互隔絕的時間。兩國人民的交往領域不可勝數。我認為，我們已經具備條件，將在這個時代所面臨的一些最重要的議題上取得穩步進展。My confidence is rooted in the fact that the United States and China share mutual interests.If we advance those interests through cooperation, our people will benefit and the world will be better off--because our ability to partner with each other is a prerequisite for progress on many of the most pressing global challenges.我的信心基于一個事實：即美國和中國有著共同利益。如果我們通過合作來推進這些利益，我們的人民將受益，世界也會受益──因為我們相互合作的能力是在許多最緊迫的全球問題上取得進展的先決條件之一。

Let me name some of those challenges.First, we can cooperate to advance our mutual interests in a lasting economic recovery.The current crisis has made it clear that the choices made within our borders reverberate across the global economy--and this is true not just in New York and Seattle, but in Shanghai and Shenzhen, as well.That is why we must remain committed to strong bilateral and multilateral coordination.And that is the example we have set by acting aggressively to restore growth, to prevent a deeper recession and to save jobs for our people.讓我來列舉出其中的一些挑戰。第一，我們能夠為在持久的經濟復蘇中增進共同利益展開合作。目前的危機表明，我們在各自國內所作的選擇會引發全球經濟的連鎖反應──在紐約和西雅圖如此，在上海和深圳也是如此。因此，我們必須繼續致力于強有力的雙邊和多邊協調。我們通過果斷行動恢復增長，防止進一步衰退，保障人民的工作機會，發揮了典范作用。

Going forward, we can deepen this cooperation.We can promote financial stability through greater transparency and regulatory reform.We can pursue trade that is free and fair, and seek to conclude an ambitious and balanced Doha Round agreement.We can update international institutions so that growing economies like China play a greater role that matches their greater responsibility.And as Americans save more and Chinese are able to spend more, we can put growth on a more sustainable foundation--because just as China has benefited from substantial investment and profitable exports, China can also be an enormous market for American goods.未來，我們可以深化這一合作。我們可以通過增進透明度和改革監管體制來促進金融穩定。我們可以開展自由和公平的貿易，尋求達成宏大而平衡的多哈回合協議。我們可以改進國際機制，使中國等發展中經濟體發揮更大的作用和承擔更大的責任。當美國人增加儲蓄而中國人增加消費時，我們的增長便有了更加可持續的基礎──因為正如中國得益于巨大投資和贏利性出口一樣，它也能夠成為美國商品的巨大市場。

Second, we can cooperate to advance our mutual interest in a clean, secure, and prosperous energy future.The United States and China are the two largest consumers of energy in the world.We are also the two largest emitters of greenhouse gases in the world.Let's be frank: Neither of us profits from a growing dependence on foreign oil, nor can we spare our people from the ravages of climate change unless we cooperate.Common sense calls upon us to act in concert.其次，我們能夠為在清潔、安全和繁榮的能源未來中增進共同利益展開合作。美國和中國是世界上兩個最大的能源消費國。我們也是世界上兩個排放溫室氣體最多的國家。坦率地說，我們必須展開合作，否則我們兩國將受制于對外國石油的更大依賴，我們的人民將飽受氣候變化之苦。這是基本常識，它要求我們共同采取行動。

Both of our countries are taking steps to transform our energy economies.Together we can chart a low carbon recovery;we can expand joint efforts at research and dev

My confidence is rooted in the fact that the United States and China share mutual interests.If we advance those interests through cooperation, our people will benefit and the world will be better off--because our ability to partner with each other is a prerequisite for progress on many of the most pressing global challenges.我的信心基于一個事實：即美國和中國有著共同利益。如果我們通過合作來推進這些利益，我們的人民將受益，世界也會受益──因為我們相互合作的能力是在許多最緊迫的全球問題上取得進展的先決條件之一。

Let me name some of those challenges.First, we can cooperate to advance our mutual interests in a lasting economic recovery.The current crisis has made it clear that the choices made within our borders reverberate across the global economy--and this is true not just in New York and Seattle, but in Shanghai and Shenzhen, as well.That is why we must remain committed to strong bilateral and multilateral coordination.And that is the example we have set by acting aggressively to restore growth, to prevent a deeper recession and to save jobs for our people.讓我來列舉出其中的一些挑戰。第一，我們能夠為在持久的經濟復蘇中增進共同利益展開合作。目前的危機表明，我們在各自國內所作的選擇會引發全球經濟的連鎖反應──在紐約和西雅圖如此，在上海和深圳也是如此。因此，我們必須繼續致力于強有力的雙邊和多邊協調。我們通過果斷行動恢復增長，防止進一步衰退，保障人民的工作機會，發揮了典范作用。Going forward, we can deepen this cooperation.We can promote financial stability through greater transparency and regulatory reform.We can pursue trade that is free and fair, and seek to conclude an ambitious and balanced Doha Round agreement.We can update international institutions so that growing economies like China play a greater role that matches their greater responsibility.And as Americans save more and Chinese are able to spend more, we can put growth on a more sustainable foundation--because just as China has benefited from substantial investment and profitable exports, China can also be an enormous market for American goods.未來，我們可以深化這一合作。我們可以通過增進透明度和改革監管體制來促進金融穩定。我們可以開展自由和公平的貿易，尋求達成宏大而平衡的多哈回合協議。我們可以改進國際機制，使中國等發展中經濟體發揮更大的作用和承擔更大的責任。當美國人增加儲蓄而中國人增加消費時，我們的增長便有了更加可持續的基礎──因為正如中國得益于巨大投資和贏利性出口一樣，它也能夠成為美國商品的巨大市場。

Second, we can cooperate to advance our mutual interest in a clean, secure, and prosperous energy future.The United States and China are the two largest consumers of energy in the world.We are also the two largest emitters of greenhouse gases in the world.Let's be frank: Neither of us profits from a growing dependence on foreign oil, nor can we spare our people from the ravages of climate change unless we cooperate.Common sense calls upon us to act in concert.其次，我們能夠為在清潔、安全和繁榮的能源未來中增進共同利益展開合作。美國和中國是世界上兩個最大的能源消費國。我們也是世界上兩個排放溫室氣體最多的國家。坦率地說，我們必須展開合作，否則我們兩國將受制于對外國石油的更大依賴，我們的人民將飽受氣候變化之苦。這是基本常識，它要求我們共同采取行動。

Both of our countries are taking steps to transform our energy economies.Together we can chart a low carbon recovery;we can expand joint efforts at research and development to promote the clean and efficient use of energy;and we can work together to forge a global response at the Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen and beyond.And the best way to foster the innovation that can increase our security and prosperity is to keep our markets open to new ideas, new exchanges, and new sources of energy.我們兩國都在采取措施實現能源經濟的轉型。我們通過共同努力，能夠開辟一條低碳復蘇的道路；能夠擴大研究和開發的合作范圍，以提倡清潔能源和高效使用能源；還能夠攜手在哥本哈根氣候變化問題會議（Climate Change Conference）及今后其他場合確立一個全球應對方案。要為增進我們的安全和繁榮推動創新，其最佳途徑是使我們的市場面對新想法、新交流和新能源保持開放。

Third, we can cooperate to advance our mutual interests in stopping the spread of nuclear weapons.Make no mistake: The more nations acquire these weapons, the more likely it is that they will be used.Neither America nor China has an interest in a terrorist acquiring a bomb, or a nuclear arms race breaking out in East Asia.That is why we must continue our collaboration to achieve the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, and make it clear to North Korea that the path to security and respect can be traveled if they meet their obligations.And that is why we must also be united in preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon, and urging the Islamic Republic to live up to its international obligations.第三，我們能夠合作促進我們在遏制核武器擴散方面的共同利益。毫無疑問：掌握核武器的國家越多，使用核武器的可能性就越大。恐怖主義分子謀取核彈，或是東亞地區爆發核武競賽，既不符合美國的利益，也不符合中國的利益。正因為如此，我們必須繼續合作，實現朝鮮半島無核化，并向北韓闡明，只要他們履行自己的義務，便能走上獲得安全和尊重的道路。也正因為如此，我們必須立場一致地制止伊朗謀取核武器，并敦促這個伊斯蘭共和國履行其國際義務。

This is not about singling out any one nation--it is about the responsibility of all nations.Together, we must cooperate to secure all vulnerable nuclear materials around the world, which will be a focus of our Global Nuclear Summit next year.And together, we must strengthen the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty by renewing its basic bargain: countries with nuclear weapons will move towards disarmament;countries without nuclear weapons will not acquire them;and all countries can access peaceful nuclear energy.A balance of terror cannot hold.In the 21st century, a strong and global regime is the only basis for security from the world's deadliest weapons.這并非是把矛頭指向某一個國家——而是要求所有國家承擔責任。我們必須共同努力，保障世界各地所有危險核材料的安全，這將是我們明年要舉辦的全球核問題峰會（Global Nuclear Summit）的一個重點議題。我們還必須共同努力強化《核不擴散條約》（Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty），重申其基本前提：有核武器的國家應向核裁軍的目標邁進；沒有核武器的國家不應謀取武器；所有國家都應有和平利用核能的途徑。相互威懾的局面不可能長期維持。在21世紀，只有以一個強大的、全球性的制度為基礎，才能防范世界上最具殺傷力的武器。

And fourth, we can cooperate to advance our mutual interests in confronting transnational threats.The most pressing dangers we face no longer come from competition among great powers--they come from extremists who would murder innocents;from traffickers and pirates who pursue their own profits at the expense of others;from diseases that know no borders;and from suffering and civil wars that breed instability and terror.These are the threats of the 21st century.And that is why the pursuit of power among nations must no longer be seen as a zero-sum game.Progress--including security--must be shared.第四，我們能夠合作增進我們在應對跨國威脅方面的共同利益。我們所面臨的最緊迫的威脅不再是大國之間的競爭——而是來自濫殺無辜的極端主義分子；來自為了牟取暴利不惜危害他人的販運分子和海盜；來自不識疆界的疾病疫情；來自滋生動蕩和恐怖的壓迫和內戰。這些都是21世紀所面臨的威脅。因此，各國增強國力的追求絕不能再被視為一場零和游戲。進步——包括安全在內——必須共享。

Through increased ties between our militaries, we can diminish causes for dispute while providing a framework for cooperation.Through continued intelligence-sharing, we can disrupt terrorist plots and dismantle terrorist networks.Through early warning and coordination, we can check the spread of disease.And through determined diplomacy, we must meet our responsibility to seek the peaceful resolution of conflict--and that can begin with a renewed push to end the suffering in Darfur, and to promote a comprehensive peace in Sudan.通過我們兩軍間已經增強的聯系，我們能夠減少造成爭端的因素，同時提供一個合作框架。通過繼續進行情報交換，我們能夠挫敗恐怖主義分子的陰謀，并搗毀恐怖主義網絡。通過早期預警和協作，我們能夠遏制疾病的傳播。通過堅定的外交努力，我們必須履行爭取以和平方式解決沖突的責任——首先可以通過再次努力結束達爾富爾地區的困苦，并促使蘇丹實現全面和平。

All of these issues are rooted in the fact that no one nation can meet the challenges of the 21st century on its own, nor effectively advance its interests in isolation.It is this fundamental truth that compels us to cooperate.I have no illusion that the United States and China will agree on every issue, nor choose to see the world in the same way.This was already noted by our previous speaker.But that only makes dialogue more important--so that we can know each other better, and communicate our concerns with candor.上述所有問題都基于這樣一個事實：沒有任何一個國家能夠單獨應對21世紀的挑戰，也沒有任何一個國家能在閉關自守的情況下有效地增進自身利益。正是這個根本事實促使我們展開合作。我不會不切實際地以為美國和中國能就所有議題達成一致，或以同樣的方式看待這個世界。前面幾位講話的人士已經闡明了這一點。但這只會增強對話的重要性——以使我們加深相互了解，開誠?公地討論我們關切的問題。

For instance, the United States respects the progress that China has made by lifting hundreds of millions of people out of poverty.Just as we respect China's ancient and remarkable culture, its remarkable achievements, we also strongly believe that the religion and culture of all peoples must be respected and protected, and that all people should be free to speak their minds.And that includes ethnic and religious minorities in China, as surely as it includes minorities within the United States.例如，美國對于中國幫助億萬人民擺脫貧困所取得的進展表示欽佩。正如我們尊重中國古老與輝煌的文化及其杰出成就，我們同時也深信各民族的宗教和文化應受到尊重與保護，所有的人都應該能自由地表達他們的想法，這包括中國的少數民族和少數派宗教人士，當然也包括美國的少數民族和少數派宗教人士。

Support for human rights and human dignity is ingrained in America.Our nation is made up of immigrants from every part of the world.We have protected our unity and struggled to perfect our union by extending basic rights to all our people.And those rights include the freedom to speak your mind, to worship your God, and to choose your leaders.These are not things that we seek to impose--this is who we are.It guides our openness to one another and to the world.對人權與人類尊嚴的支持在美國根深蒂固。我們的國家是由來自世界各地的移民所組成。我們通過把基本權利擴大至全體美國人保護了我們的團結，并力爭使我們的合眾國盡善盡美。這些權利包括表達意見、信奉神明、選擇領袖的自由。這些不是我們謀求強加給人的東西，而是我們自己的民族特性。這是指導我們彼此之間和向全世界開誠布公的行為準則。

China has its own distinct story that shapes its own worldview.And Americans know the richness of China's history because it helped to shape the world and it helped to shape America.We know the talent of the Chinese people because they have helped to create this great country.My own Cabinet contains two Chinese Americans.And we know that despite our differences, America is enriched through deeper ties with a country of 1.3 billion people that is at once ancient and dynamic--ties that can be forged through increased exchanges among our people, and constructive bilateral relations between our governments.That is how we will narrow our divisions.中國形成自己的世界觀也有其獨特的經歷。美國人了解中國歷史的豐富底蘊，因為它對世界也對美國產生了影響。我們了解中國人民的才能，因為他們幫助創建了美國這個偉大的國家。我本人的內閣中就有兩位華裔美國人。我們知道，盡管我們之間有分歧，但通過加深與一個有13億人口、既古老又有活力的國家之間的聯系，美國將受益匪淺。這些聯系能夠通過加強兩國人民之間的交流及兩國政府之間建設性的雙邊關系得到鞏固。這就是我們賴以減少分歧的方式。

Let us be honest: We know that some are wary of the future.Some in China think that America will try to contain China's ambitions;some in America think that there is something to fear in a rising China.I take a different view.And I believe President Hu takes a different view, as well.I believe in a future where China is a strong, prosperous and successful member of the community of nations;a future when our nations are partners out of necessity, but also out of opportunity.This future is not fixed, but it is a destination that can be reached if we pursue a sustained dialogue like the one that you will commence today, and act on what we hear and what we learn.請允許我直言不諱：我們知道有些人對未來小心翼翼。中國的有些人認為美國將試圖遏制中國的雄心壯志；美國的有些人則認為一個崛起的中國有些可怕。我有不同的看法。我相信胡主席也有不同的看法。我所相信的未來是：中國是國際社會強大、繁榮和成功的一員；屆時我們的國家將不僅是出于需要而且也是出于尋求機遇成為合作的伙伴。未來并非一定如此，但是，如果我們堅持進行像今天即將開始的對話，并基于我們聽到和學到的內容行事，這應當是一個能夠達到的目標。

Thousands of years ago, the great philosopher Mencius said: “A trail through the mountains, if used, becomes a path in a short time, but, if unused, becomes blocked by grass in an equally short time.” Our task is to forge a path to the future that we seek for our children--to prevent mistrust or the inevitable differences of the moment from allowing that trail to be blocked by grass;to always be mindful of the journey that we are undertaking together.數千年前，偉大的哲學家孟子曾經說過：“山徑之蹊間，介然用之而成路，為間不用，則茅塞之矣。”我們的任務是要開辟出一條造福子孫后代的通向未來的道路，防止缺乏信任或不可避免的一時分歧使這條道路被雜草堵塞，要隨時想到我們正在共同完成的旅程。

This dialogue will help determine the ultimate destination of that journey.It represents a commitment to shape our young century through sustained cooperation, and not confrontation.I look forward to carrying this effort forward through my first visit to China, where I hope to come to know better your leaders, your people, and your majestic country.Together, I'm confident that we can move steadily in the direction of progress, and meet our responsibility to our people and to the future that we will all share.這項對話將有助于確定該旅程的最終目的地。它展示了我們通過持久合作——而并非對抗——來定格新世紀的承諾。我期待著在首次訪問中國時進一步推動這項努力，我希望更好地了解你們的領導人、你們的人民和你們偉大的國家。我深信，只要我們攜起手來，就能沿著進步的方向穩步向前，履行我們對我們的人民和我們共同的未來所承擔的責任。

Thank you very much.多謝各位。

Speech at the Opening Ceremony of the Fourth China-US Strategic and Economic Dialogue

by President Hu Jintao

May 3, 2012

克林頓國務卿，蓋特納財長，各位來賓，女士們，先生們，朋友們：

Secretary Clinton，Secretary Timothy Geithner，Distinguished guests，Ladies and gentlemen，Dear friends，時隔兩年，中美戰略與經濟對話再次在北京舉行，中美雙方將共同探討新形勢下如何推動兩國關系向前發展。首先，我謹對第四輪中美戰略與經濟對話開幕，表示祝賀！對遠道而來的美國朋友們，表示歡迎！

Today after two years, a new round of China-US Strategic and Economic Dialogues(S&ED)has opened here in Beijing.During the dialogue, our two sides will discuss ways to advance China-US relations under the new circumstances.I wish to extend congratulations on the opening of the fourth round of the S&ED and welcome to our American friends coming from afar.2009年，我同奧巴馬總統在倫敦會晤時共同商定，建立中美戰略與經濟對話機制。3年多來，中美戰略與經濟對話作為兩國級別最高、參與部門最多、討論議題最廣的機制，促進了兩國高層戰略溝通，加深了對彼此戰略意圖和政策的了解，擴大了對中美關系發展方向的共識；有力推進了互利合作，增進了兩國人民相互了解和友誼；豐富了兩國各領域各層次交流溝通。

President Obama and I agreed to establish the S&ED when we met in London in 2009.This is the highest-level mechanism between our two countries that involves the most extensive participation by our government departments and has a most wide-ranging agenda.Over the past three years and more, the S&ED has facilitated high-level strategic consultation between our two countries.We have increased understanding of each other's strategic intentions and policies and expanded consensus on the future course of China-US relations.The S&ED has given a strong boost to our mutually beneficial cooperation and contributed to mutual understanding and friendship between our two peoples.It has enriched exchanges and consultations between the two countries in various fields and at various levels.在本輪對話中，希望雙方再接再厲，共同努力，既立足當前，又著眼長遠，推動中美戰略與經濟對話成為兩國加強戰略溝通、增進戰略互信、促進戰略合作的長效機制，為建設中美合作伙伴關系不斷進行探索和實踐。

I hope that the two sides will continue to make concerted efforts during this round of S&ED.We need to both focus on the present and look ahead to the future.We should make the S&ED a long-term mechanism for us to intensify strategic consultation, enhance strategic mutual trust and promote strategic cooperation, a mechanism that helps us explore ways to build China-US cooperative partnership.女士們、先生們！

Ladies and gentlemen，40年前，中美兩國老一輩領導人用“跨越太平洋的握手”開啟了中美關系的大門，開始探索不同社會制度、歷史文化、發展階段大國的相處之道。40年來，中美關系發展的廣度和深度，遠遠超過了當年人們的想象。

Forty years ago, the Chinese and American leaders of the older generation opened the door of China-US relations with a handshake across the Pacific Ocean, and this started the process of exploring how our two major countries, different in social system, history, culture and development stage, should treat each other.Today 40 years on, China-US relations have grown well beyond what people could have imagined at that time.一年前，我對美國進行了國事訪問，同奧巴馬總統就共同建設相互尊重、互利共贏的合作伙伴關系達成重要共識。中美分別是當今世界最大的發展中國家和最大的發達國家，中美關系持續健康穩定向前發展，不僅能給兩國人民帶來實實在在的利益，而且將為促進世界和平、穩定、繁榮作出寶貴貢獻。

A year ago, I paid a state visit to the United States and reached an important agreement with President Obama on working together to build a China-US cooperative partnership based on mutual respect and mutual benefit.China and the United States are respectively the largest developing country and the largest developed country.The sustained, sound and steady growth of our relations will not only deliver real benefits to our two peoples but also make valuable contributions to world peace, stability and prosperity.女士們、先生們！

Ladies and gentlemen，當今世界，經濟全球化深入發展，科技進步日新月異，機遇和挑戰并存。各國人民都期待２１世紀成為人類歷史上第一個共享和平安寧、共同發展繁榮的世紀。人們認為，中美合作將給兩國和世界帶來巨大機遇，中美對抗將給兩國和世界帶來巨大損害。無論國際風云如何變幻，無論中美兩國國內情況如何發展，雙方都應該堅定推進合作伙伴關系建設，努力發展讓兩國人民放心、讓各國人民安心的新型大國關系。

The world today is in deepening economic globalization and rapid scientific and technological advances.We face both opportunities and challenges.People of all countries hope that the 21st century will be the first century in human history in which we can all enjoy peace, stability, development and prosperity.People believe that cooperation between China and the United States will bring enormous opportunities to the two countries and the whole world, while confrontation between the two will bring grave harm to all.Whatever changes may take place in the world and no matter how the domestic situations in our two countries may evolve, China and the United States should be firmly committed to advancing the cooperative partnership and build a new type of relations between major countries that is reassuring to both of our two peoples and to peoples across the world.發展中美新型大國關系，需要創新思維。40年前，中美發表《上海公報》是一個創舉，《上海公報》在肯定雙方共同點的同時，如實列出存在的分歧，確立了中美關系的基本指導原則。當前，人類已進入21世紀第二個十年。我們的思想、政策、行動應該與時俱進，以創新的思維、切實的行動，打破歷史上大國對抗沖突的傳統邏輯，探索經濟全球化時代發展大國關系的新路徑。

To build such of a new type of relations between China and United States as two major countries, we need to think creatively.Forty years ago, China and Untied States made a creative move by issuing the Shanghai Communiqué.The Communiqué, which both affirmed the shared views of the two countries and listed their differences truthfully, established the basic principles on China-US relations.We are now in the second decade of the 21st century and we need to advance with the times in our thinking, policies and actions.We should, through creative thinking and concrete steps, prove that the traditional belief that big powers are bound to enter into confrontation and conflicts is wrong, and seek new ways of developing relations between major countries in the era of economic globalization.發展中美新型大國關系，需要相互信任。我們這個星球有足夠大的空間，應能容得下中美兩國和其他國家共同發展。改革開放30多年來，中國堅持和平發展，開創了一條依靠中國人民勤勞智慧、通過中國人民同各國人民合作共贏實現發展的正確道路。走和平發展道路，是我們始終不變的戰略選擇，是中國對全世界的鄭重承諾。

To build a new type of relations between China and the United States, we need to trust each other.The world we live in is big enough for China, the United States and all other countries to achieve common development.Over the past 30 years, since its reform and opening-up course started, China has, through the hard work and wisdom of the Chinese people and win-win cooperation with the people around the world, pursued peaceful development.This is the right path to development that we have embarked on.To follow the path of peaceful development is our strategic choice which we will never change, and it is a solemn commitment that China has made to the world.發展中美新型大國關系，需要平等互諒。中美兩國國情不同，不可能在所有問題上都意見一致。雙方必須學會相互尊重，善于抓住“同”，把共同利益的蛋糕做大；正確對待“異”，尊重和照顧彼此利益關切。對存在的分歧，應通過對話交流，增進理解，妥善處理，以免影響中美關系大局。

To build a new type of relations between China and the United States, we need to act in spirit of equality and mutual understanding.Given different national conditions, it is impossible for China and the United States to see eye to eye on every issue.The two sides must know how to respect each other, be good at expanding common ground and make the pile of our convergent interests bigger.We should approach our differences in a correct way and respect and accommodate each other's interests and concerns.We should properly manage differences through dialogues and exchanges and by improving mutual understanding, so that these differences will not undermine the larger interests of China-US relations.發展中美新型大國關系，需要積極行動。中國有句古話，為者常成，行者常至。我們要采取扎實有效的行動，把雙方達成的各項共識落到實處，推動廣泛領域務實合作，加強在國際和地區問題上的協調，促進亞太地區乃至世界和平穩定，讓兩國人民和各國人民切實享受中美合作帶來的好處。

To build a new type of relations between China and the United States, we need to work actively.As an old Chinese saying goes, only by working diligently can one achieve his goal and only by walking tirelessly can one reach his destination.We need to take solid and effective steps to implement what we have agreed upon.We should enhance practical cooperation in a wide range of areas, step up coordination on regional and international issues, promote peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific and beyond and bring the benefits of China-US cooperation to the people of our two countries and the whole world.發展中美新型大國關系，需要厚植友誼。國之交在于民相親。我們要積極推進兩國社會各界交流交往，讓更多人成為中美友好合作的參與者、支持者。我高興地得知，第三輪中美人文交流高層磋商將與第四輪中美戰略與經濟對話同時舉行，期待第三輪磋商進一步促進中美兩國人民相互了解和友誼。

To build a new type of relations between China and the United States, we need to nourish our friendship.Friendship between people holds the key to growing good relations between states.We should actively promote exchanges between China and America from all walks of life and encourage greater public participation in the course of promoting China-US friendship and cooperation.I am glad to know that the third meeting of China-US high-level consultation on people to people exchange will be held at the same time of the fourth round of the S&ED.I hope that this meeting will further enhance the mutual understanding and friendship between the two peoples.女士們、先生們！

Ladies and gentlemen，我們所在的這個大廳叫芳菲苑。中國唐代詩人韓愈有兩句詩：“草木知春不久歸，百般紅紫斗芳菲。”意思是時不我待，必須奮發進取。中美關系正面臨進一步發展的機遇，同時也面臨新的挑戰。讓我們抓住機遇，排除干擾，共同努力，走出一條相互尊重、合作共贏的新型大國關系之路。

The room in which we are having this meeting is called Fangfeiyuan, or the Hall of Flowers.The name of the hall reminds me of a line in a poem by Chinese Tang Dynasty poet Han Yu describing late spring--the plants know spring will soon wave them goodbye, hundreds of red and violet flowers in beauty vie.It shows that time waits for no man and one must work hard and keep advancing.China and the United States now face new opportunities to further grow our relations.We're also confronted with new challenges.Let us seize opportunities and remove interference and work together to build a new type of relations between major countries featuring mutual respect and win-win cooperation.預祝第四輪中美戰略與經濟對話取得圓滿成功。

In conclusion, I wish the fourth round of the China-US Strategic and Economic Dialogues every success!

(In progress)– Strategic and Economic Dialogue, and I know that both Secretary Geithner and I greatly appreciate all the work done by both of our delegations and the months of preparation for this meeting.I’ve read readings from President Obama and a letter from him expressing how important the Strategic and Economic Dialogue is to the U.S.-China relationship and how important this relationship is to the United States.（正在講話）－－戰略與經濟對話，而且我知道蓋特納部長和我對于雙方代表的所有工作以及連月來的會議籌備都表示十分感謝。我已讀到歐巴馬總統的聲明以及一封信函，其中表明戰略與經濟對話對于美中關系的重要性，以及這一關系對于美國的重要性。

As President Obama says, the United States remains committed to building a cooperative partnership based on mutual benefit and mutual respect.Since we launched this dialogue three years ago, high-ranking officials from both our governments have criss-crossed the Pacific dozens of times.Our relationship has grown closer and more consequential, and the web of connections that link our nations is increasing.如同歐巴馬總統所言，美國繼續致力于建設一種基于互惠與互相尊重的合作關系。自從我們在三年前啟動這項對話以來，雙方政府的高級官員已在太平洋兩岸往返了數十次。我們的關系更加密切也更富成效，聯系我們兩國的紐帶也與日俱增。

As a result, this dialogue is even more necessary today than it was when it began, and the eyes of the world are once again upon us.The Chinese people and the American people looking for us to work together for their benefit, and the international community looking to us to work together for the world’s benefit;in today’s world, no global player can afford to treat geopolitics as a zero-sum game, so we are working to build a relationship that allows both of our countries to flourish without unhealthy competition or conflict, while at the same time meeting our responsibilities to our people and to the international community.因此，這項對話在今天比當年啟動時更為必要，世人的目光也再次注視著我們。中國人民和美國人民都希望我們共同為他們謀福利，國際社會也希望我們共同為世界謀福利；在今天的世界中，沒有任何全球大國能將地緣政治視為零和游戲，所以我們正在努力建立一種關系，使兩國能夠繁榮興盛，而且沒有不健康的競爭或沖突，同時滿足我們人民和國際社會的需求。

We both know that we have to get this right because so much depends upon it.We also both know that our countries have become thoroughly, inescapably interdependent.As President Obama and I have said many times, the United States believes that a thriving China is good for America, and a thriving America is good for China.So we have a strong interest in China’s continued economic growth and if China’s rising capabilities means that we have an increasingly able and engaged partner in solving the threats we face to both regional and global security, that is all good.我們都知道我們必須做得正確，因為這的確事關重大。我們都知道兩國已經完全地、不可避免地互相依賴。正如歐巴馬總統和我本人多次談到的，美國相信興盛的中國對美國有益，而興盛的美國同樣對中國有益。所以，中國持續的經濟增長關系到我們的重大利益，如果中國日益加強的能力意味著我們擁有一個越來越強大并投入的合作伙伴以解決我們雙方面臨的地區和全球安全威脅，那是非常好的事情。

Now, having said that, we understand too that building a cooperative, resilient, mutually beneficial relationship is not easy.That’s why this dialogue is so critical as well as the Strategic Security Dialogue that took place here yesterday.We are discussing how the talks are opening economic activity to advance prosperity, support innovation, and improve the lives of people, how to promote greater military transparency to avoid misunderstandings, to build trust and maintain mutual stability, how to tackle some of the world’s most urgent crises from climate change to proliferation.在此基礎上，我們也理解要建立一種合作、堅韌、互惠的關系并不容易。這就是這一對話以及昨天在此舉行的戰略安全對話如此重要的原因。我們討論了對話如何開啟經濟活動以促進繁榮、支持創新并改善人民生活，如何提倡提高軍事透明度以避免誤解，建立信任并維護共同穩定，如何應對全世界從氣候變化到核擴散的一系列最緊迫的危機。

The United States welcomes China’s increased engagement on the highest priority regional and global issues, and in our strategic track, we will be discussing these.For example, on Iran, the United States and China share the goal of preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.And we had a productive first meeting as members of the P-5+1 in Istanbul, and are looking forward to the next meeting in Baghdad because we both understand it is critical to keep pressure on Iran to meet its international obligations, to negotiate seriously, and prove that its nuclear program is solely for peaceful purposes.美國歡迎中國日益投入于最重要的地區和全球事務，我們將在戰略會談中對此進行討論。舉例而言，在伊朗問題上，美國和中國都抱有制止伊朗獲得核武器的目標。作為5常加1的成員，我們已在伊斯坦布爾召開了富于成效的第一次會議，并期待下一次會議在巴格達召開，因為我們雙方都理解，繼續對伊朗施壓以使它履行其國際義務、嚴肅地進行談判、并證明其核項目完全用于和平目的，都是至關重要的。

In Syria, we are absolutely committed to end the brutal violence against civilians, and therefore, it is essential that the international community work together to hold the regime and the others involved in violence accountable, because regrettably, the Security Council on which we both serve as current members is at stake.在敘利亞，我們堅定不移地致力于結束傷害平民的野蠻暴力行為；因此，國際社會協力追究實施暴力行為的敘利亞政權及其他人的責任至關重要；因為令人遺憾的是，我們目前都是其成員的安理會面臨信譽危機。

Regarding North Korea, the missile launch seems to suggest that Pyongyang actually used improved relations with the outside world not a goal, but as a threat.And we recognize the role that China is playing and are continuing to work together to make it clear to North Korea that strength and security will come from prioritizing the needs of its people, not from further provocation.至于北韓，它進行的導彈發射似乎暗示，平壤實際上不是把與外部世界關系的改善作為一項目標，而是作為一種威脅。我們了解中國正在發揮的作用，繼續協作，向北韓明確表示：北韓的力量與安全將來自優先考慮其人民的需求，而不是來自進一步的挑釁。

In Sudan and South Sudan, China and the United States are working together.In fact, with me today is the U.S.special envoy to Sudan who is in regular contact with the Chinese special representative for Africa.And I’m pleased that China and the United States joined with a unified international community just hours ago to support a strong UN security resolution that provides unambiguous support for the African Union roadmap.在蘇丹和南蘇丹，中國和美國正在共同努力。事實上，與中國駐非洲特別代表保持經常接觸的美國駐蘇丹特使今天與我一起出席會議。我感到高興的是，中國與美國就在幾個小時前與團結一致的國際社會一道支持聯合國關于安全問題的強有力決議，向非洲聯盟的路線圖提供明確無疑的支持。

Our countries are addressing everything from cyber security to the changes and reforms going on in Burma to piracy and so much else, because we know that we are working to better the lives of our people and a better future for all humanity.Now of course, as part of our dialogue, the United States raises the importance of human rights and fundamental freedoms because we believe that all governments do have to answer to citizens’ aspirations for dignity and the rule of law, and that no nation can or should deny those rights.我們兩國正在應對網絡安全、緬甸發生的變化與改革、盜竊知識產權以及許許多多的其他各種問題，因為我們知道我們正在努力改善我們兩國人民的生活，使全人類有一個更美好的未來。當然，作為我們對話的部分內容，美國提出人權與基本自由重要性的問題，因為我們認為各國政府都必須回應公民對尊嚴與法治的愿望，任何國家都不能也不應該拒絕這些權利。

As President Obama said this week, a China that protects the rights of all its citizens will be a stronger and more prosperous nation, and of course, a stronger partner on behalf of our common goals.The conversations we have here in Beijing reflect how much the U.S.-China relationship has grown in the 40 years since President Nixon came to China.Then, we had hardly any ties to speak of;now, we work together.I think it’s fair to say China and the United States cannot solve all the problems of the world, but without our cooperation, it is doubtful any problem can be solved.And so we are working as we go forward with our dialogue, seeking opportunities for engagement, building ties that are not only between governments but family, friends, entrepreneurs, students, scholars, artists, and so much else.正如奧巴馬總統在本周內所說，一個保護其所有公民權利的中國將是一個更強大和更繁榮的國家，當然也是一個代表我們共同目標的更強有力的合作伙伴。我們在北京這里舉行的對話反映出自從尼克松總統訪華后40年來美中關系已經取得的巨大進展。那時，我們幾乎沒有任何聯系可言；現在，我們共同工作。我認為，可以公平地說：中國和美國無法解決世界上的所有問題，但如果沒有我們之間的合作，就很難解決任何問題。所以我們正在努力推動我們之間的對話，尋求接觸與聯系的機會，這種聯系將不限于政府之間，而是包括家庭、朋友、企業家、學生、學者、藝術家和其他各類人士。

Tomorrow, I will attend the annual meeting of U.S.-China Consultation on People-to-People Exchanges, and we will discuss the progress we’re making, including for our 100000 Strong Education Initiative that will increase significantly the numbers and diversity of American students studying in China.明天，我將參加美中人文交流高層磋商會議。我們將討論我們取得的進展，其中包括“十萬人留學中國計劃”，該計劃將大幅度增加在中國留學的美國學生的人數與多樣性。So I wish to thank our hosts for their gracious hospitality once again, and pledge that we will continue to work together in a true spirit of partnership and mutual respect for the mutual benefit of our two nations.Thank you very much.(Applause.)

因此，我想再一次感謝我們的東道主的盛情款待，并承諾我們將繼續本著真正的伙伴合作精神與相互尊重原則共同努力，促進我們兩國的共同利益。多謝各位。（掌聲）。
